I wonder if the man offered to let LE search home and business? LE would still get warrants to protect the searches, but it might explain how they were able to search at this point, if no evidence that he did anything yet. I would let LE search, if I was innocent and wanted them to move on to finding out what really happened. Has he said that the search was not ok'd by him?
IANAL but I thought a 'consent to search' form could be used in lieu of a warrant. I'm thinking of something that happened in Caylee's case where George signed a consent instead of LE having to get a warrant.
